Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The fields communicated during the respective courses deal with groups of archaeological sources which are only made accessible through natural scientific methods ("archaeological science"). Therefore, basic methods and frequent topics are presented for each field, with a clear emphasis on their relevance for archaeological research questions. Case studies from
ongoing research are presented and basic literatur is presented.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written examination (singe-choice and text questions) at the end of the semester.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In the course, a basic access to a "archaeological scientific" mindset should be made possible for the respective research fields. Students are informed about local and international research traditions and institutions, and about further in-depth courses.

Examination topics

Due to shortage of time, the course is largely held in a traditional way, which is sometimes interrupted by practical demonstrations (Knochenklauberei). Teachers are grateful for comments, contributions for discussions and will be at disposal for questions after lectures.

Reading list

Indroductory literature will be indicated in the respective courses.
